It is a fairly heavy topic but is extremely informative and helpful for both women and men.

cnsgirl's review against another edition

Lundy is Anti Vax.
Lundy is a TERF.

This book might have some beneficial insight, given its popularity. 

I personally cannot trust an author who holds those views to be a consistently enough sound source of insight, and I will read other books in Lundy's place.

Should be required reading for all women, mental health professionals and those who work in related fields. A bit dated but still unbelievably valuable.

This book is so important. Perfect for survivors (past or present) as well as allies. You don’t even need to read the whole thing - just skip around to whatever applies to your situation. It also has a whole section of resources in the back.
